Experts say age alone can't explain why 'U' students live differently

No R.A. In Sight: Life in residence halls doesn't deter underage drinking
Ask any college student to name some of the activities in which they like to partake for fun around campus, and it's a pretty good bet that drinking will appear on the list.

Clooney and friends have paid their dues
HOLLYWOOD - George Clooney is one of the biggest names on TV thanks to "ER," but it took him nearly eight years and almost as many series to achieve superstar status.

In 1985, Bell's owner Larry Bell, whose home-brewed beer was already making cultured palates water all over the area, opted to try his hand at a little professional brewing. Armed with four employees and small-scale brewing equipment including boilers, storage drums, pressure gauges, bottling equipment and the like, Bell inked a lease to house his operations in a pair of ramshackle Kalamazoo warehouses surrounded by little more than forgotten industrial wasteland.
